Doctor it!   /     Doctor it! Episode 13 – AI in academia

Description

In this semester’s first episode of Doctor it! we have invited Michela Vingoli from the Austrian Institute of Technology and Marvin Stecker from the Department of Government to talk about the use of AI in the humanities and the social sciences. Together with our host Emily Genatowski they discuss why Michela trains AI models to analyse images and texts from the 16th century and how Marvin applies machine learning in his research about contemporary political identities. Listen in when they explore the future of AI in academia beyond doomsday scenarios, and techno-utopian futures and learn about the ethical concerns that Michela and Marvin mitigate in their daily use of AI for their PhD research. This episode was written and produced by Penelope Faithful, Emily Genatowski and Martin Pokorny, edited by Martin Pokorny and Adityo Sudagung, and hosted by Emily Genatowski. Pictures by Christian Lendl, Martin Pokorny and Adityo Sudagung. Special thanks go out to our guests, Marvin Stecker and Michela Vingoli. More about Doctor it!
